{{ rpd:images:item_FrostArrow.png|Moistened Arrow }}

**Moistening** is the alchemy process in Remixed Dungeon that involves using potions on [[rpd:arrows_item|arrows]] to make special ammunition with enhanced effects.

==== Description ====
Moistening is a specific alchemy technique that transforms regular [[rpd:common_arrow_item|Common Arrows]] into special arrows with additional effects by combining them with potions at an alchemy pot.

==== Types of Moistened Arrows ====
  * [[rpd:poison_arrow_item|Poison Arrow]] - Created with [[rpd:potion_of_toxic_gas_item|Potion of Toxic Gas]], poisons enemies
  * [[rpd:frost_arrow_item|Frost Arrow]] - Created with [[rpd:potion_of_frost_item|Potion of Frost]], slows enemies
  * [[rpd:fire_arrow_item|Fire Arrow]] - Created with [[rpd:potion_of_liquid_flame_item|Potion of Liquid Flame]], burns enemies
  * [[rpd:health_arrow_item|Health Arrow]] - Created with [[rpd:potion_of_healing_item|Potion of Healing]], heals allies
  * [[rpd:paralysis_arrow_item|Paralysis Arrow]] - Created with [[rpd:potion_of_paralytic_gas_item|Potion of Paralytic Gas]], paralyzes enemies
  * [[rpd:amok_arrow_item|Amok Arrow]] - Created with [[rpd:potion_of_strength_item|Potion of Strength]], causes enemies to attack each other

==== Process ====
  1. Find an alchemy pot on the dungeon level
  2. Have [[rpd:common_arrow_item|Common Arrows]] and the desired potion
  3. Use the alchemy pot and select both the arrows and potion
  4. The process converts regular arrows into special arrows

==== Strategy ====
  * Create specialized ammunition for fighting specific enemies
  * Convert excess potions into ranged combat advantages
  * Useful for [[rpd:ranged_weapons|ranged weapon]] users to enhance effectiveness
  * Saves inventory space by converting potions into arrows

==== Advantages ====
  * Converts single-use potions into single-use arrows with more targeted effects
  * Allows ranged application of potion effects
  * Creates tactical advantages against specific enemies
  * Makes efficient use of excess potions

==== Disadvantages ====
  * Cannot be undone once arrows are moistened
  * Requires access to an alchemy pot
  * Limited by supply of arrows and potions
